The sky is the limit!

 The rocketry club has asked us to be at the launch pad by 9:45 for a safety orientation.  Each scout should bring a dollar or two to put in the tip jar and say thanks when they first arrive.

We had a great time last year and hope everyone can come.  It will be cool this time.  Yea!
We will be at the rocket and airplane launch pad at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood. We are guests of CRASH and we are asked to be on time. There is a $7 admission per car.  Meet at the park n ride and we will depart from there and carpool in to the park at 9:30am.

If you choose to go straight to the parking lot, do not proceed to the launch pad. We will enter as a group and then be given an orientation together.  Enter the park near Morrison Rd and 470.  The navigation takes you to a closed gate at the east end of the park.

Everyone can leave when they have had enough. Some of us never get enough.  One more engine please!   Engines, wadding and launch pads will be provided. Have fun building your rockets!

2018 Pinewood Derby

Cub Scouts, start your engines!

Announcing the 2018 Pinewood Derby!

We will be holding our annual Pinewood Derby race on March 8 at 6:30.  The Pinewood Derby is a time-honored Cub Scout tradition that involves building your own car and racing it against your fellow Scouts' cars.
Car kits were given to all active scouts. You can also purchase car kits at the Scout Store, at Michael's, or at US Toys.  Just make sure that you buy Official BSA car kits, NOT other similar car kits like those used for Awanas.

Building Your Car

You will have about a month to build your car.

Rules

Use Official BSA materials only
Car must weigh no more than 5.0 ounces
If the car weighs less than 5.0 ounces, that's fine, but it won't win
No motors or fans or other propulsion

Tips and Tricks:
Boys Life: How to make a fast derby car
Maximum Velocity: Five keys to Pinewood Derby performance

Awards

Awards will be given to the first and second place finishing cars for the Lions, Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webelos and AOL dens.  The Scout with the fastest car will also win the Pack Champion trophy.  We may also add a scouts choice design award.  All Scouts will be awarded ribbons for their cars.  You can try to make the fastest car, or you can try to make the most creative or most colorful or whatever kind of car you can imagine!

Arapahoe District Pinewood Derby

The first and second place winners from each den will be able to participate in the Arapahoe district pinewood derby in April.  More information will be made available closer to that event of go to the DAC site's calendar.

Have fun doing this with your scout!
